Are there any side effects with Fractional Resurfacing?
What risks are involved? The results sound great, I just want to make sure I'm aware of all possible complications before going ahead with treatment.

With any procedure there is always some inherent risk. Lasers particular fractional resurfacing is no exception. These following risks are rare but could happen nonetheless:
1. Burns leading to increased pigment (hyperpigmentation) more common
2. Burns leading to decreased pigment (hypopigmentation) less common
3. Blisters leading to scars
4. Blotchiness
5. Results that don't correct the pigments, lines, wrinkles, or scars
6. infection
